Andrea Bocelli had an impressive stage performance that left royal family members and royal fans emotional.
On Saturday, the Platinum Party in the Palace successfully celebrated a new milestone in Queen Elizabeth II's life as a Queen. The event attracted over 13.4 million viewers, per BBC.
It then became the most-watched program of the year so far after having a 74.3 percent share of the audience.
Among the performers, Bocelli sang a stunning rendition of Nessun Dorma that made fans and royal family members emotional. It is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot alongside a house choir.
Since the 1990 World Cup in Italy, it has become the soundtrack to English football.
He followed performances from Adam Lambert + Queen, Rod Stewart, George Ezra, Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber, and Sam Ryder. However, viewers believed that Bocelli's performance became the highlight of the party.
